Showing a friend's license when arrested for drunk driving

The DUI suspect, a parolee, admitted, "That's the ID. I use it to go to clubs."

Turkus wobbled on his feet and his breath smelled of an alcoholic beverage, cops allege. Police also found an empty Bud Light can in the car.

He refused to take a blood alcohol test, according to the DUI cops.

Turkus was released on parole in February, after spending seven months in state prison for two burglary convictions. He had initially been sentenced to two to six years in prison.

This time around, he's charged with drunken driving and false personation.

MORE DWI ARRESTS

Cops say an Eltingville man was drunk and high on drugs when he got into a car crash as he left the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge early Wednesday morning.

Robert Dente, 42, of the 100 block of Wainwright Avenue, had a crack pipe and a foil wrapper with white residue in his car when police found him at 2:50 a.m., according to court papers.

"I'm on morphine," Dente told cops, court papers allege. He refused to take a blood alcohol test, cops allege.

He was charged with drunken and impaired driving, and misdemeanor drug possession.

Police also arrested Robert J. Donovan, 42, of New Jersey, on the West Shore Expressway near Victory Boulevard yesterday, charging him with drunken driving after his blood alcohol level measured .116 percent, cops said. The legal limit is .08 percent.
